My passion is designing and teaching workshops on mindful living, nervous system regulation, embodiment practices and working with challenging emotions, trauma, and chronic pain. I love teaching those new to mindfulness as well as providing continuing education for bodyworkers, social workers and counselors.  I focus on body centered and mindful approaches to trauma resolution and self regulation with my clients.

I offer meditations and live sessions on the Insight Timer app. Check out my offerings at www.insighttimer.com/choosingmindfulness.

Mindfulness has been a part of my life almost all my life!  I lived a contemplative life for eight years in the 1970's at a yoga ashram, which, along with my family's alternative interests,  influenced the direction of my life towards awareness and mindful living.  Over the years, I have continued to practice mindfulness and participated in many personal and professional growth retreats.  I incorporate mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy and holistic health skills into my body-centered practice focusing on trauma resolution and joyful living. In addition, I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and hold certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and am trained as an EMDR therapist.
